Introduction
Before we can bring peace to the world, we must bring socialism. Before we can bring socialism to the world, we must bring socialism to ourselves. While the Left strives for an external revolution, we must all perpetuate internal revolutions. We cannot change the world until we have changed ourselves.
Socialists must never forget that our objective is change. We cannot, indeed we must not become reactionary. Only by pushing forward can we accomplish our goals. The future is molded by the present, and it is our duty to mold a present that will lead to socialism. This socialist future cannot be brought about by an individual, or by a single group. The end to capitalism will only be brought when the world-wide left unites, and Social Democrats stand shoulder to shoulder with hardened Trotskyites. The proletariat will only be freed of its chains when there is a united voice for freedom and equality, a united front against exploitation.
The People’s Voice is dedicated to socialism – evolutionary and revolutionary, internally and externally focused. I believe in what I wrote above, and hope that The Voice will help to inspire socialist change both individually and communally. An incredibly lofty goal, but it always helps to set the bar high. If I can contribute to one conservative reconsidering his or her position, or if I can help a single socialist to grow, this ’blog’ will be worth every minute I put into it!
